• No. The Rules do not provide for a right to counsel for lawyers or complainants in disciplinary proceedings. In this regard, disciplinary proceedings are civil in nature not criminal. The complainant may be represented by counsel or some other representative in a disciplinary proceeding. The Bar encourages lawyers to seek legal counsel.
